A first one of the plurality of laser-treated areas may be spaced away from a second one of the plurality of laser-treated areas. A first area may comprise a first nanoporosity and a laser-treated area may comprise a second nanoporosity, wherein the second nanoporosity is greater than the first nanoporosity.

Abstract: A catheter reinforcement layer (100) and a catheter (10). The catheter reinforcement layer (100) includes a spring component (110) and at least one axial component (120). The at least one axial component (120) extends along the spring component (110) from a proximal end to a distal end, and has at least one intersection with the spring component (110). According to the catheter reinforcing layer (100), by introducing one or more axial components (120) into a reinforcing layer of an existing spring component (110), the axial modulus of the catheter (10) is increased, thereby avoiding axial deformation or even breakage of the tubular body of the catheter (10) due to axial force.

Abstract: Consistent read queries are enabled from a secondary compute node. In response to a read query, a page of data can be requested from a storage node with a first log sequence number indicating an update state of a local store of a compute node. The page of data can be received from the storage node with a second log sequence number indicating an update state of the page. Processing can be deferred until the first log sequence number is greater than or equal to the second log sequence number, wherein the first log sequence number is updated in response to automatic updates of the local store. A row of data can be retrieved from the page in accordance with the request. Further, a version of the row of data can be retrieved that has a timestamp equal to or before a timestamp associated with initiation of the read request.
